Which Adverts Just Don't Work For You

[lankeela]

Bull in a china shop - nothing to do with Moneysupermarket. Barclays sidekicks - nope can't see it. Xero robot - really?

[grumpy01]

The cinch car advert with that irritant Rylan Clark-Neal.

[JimF]

I used to like the one about plopped ham with chalk. Haven't seen it for a while though.

[retrocop]

That one grinds my gears as well. Can't stand his camp voice.I don't believe anyone naturally speaks like that.

[JimF]

That's interesting, as there has been a surprising amount of research into whether there actually is a 'gay male voice':

Anyone who's mentioned a brand - the ad worked. They don't care whether you 'like' the ad or not. You remembered the brand.

I dislike ads intensely, but there have been some entertaining ones over the years I have to say.

Jim - I remember that one. Plumrose plopped ham with chalk.

'Avez vous un cuppa?'

[Spicerack]

Yes, roy, I like the way he says 'rude'.
Anyone seen that bloke who says 'Shepherd's pie, NO, LASAGNEAAAH'
Proper actor.

Ya it is

[emmie]

so many that im not sure i could think of just one. There is a new one for Estrella Spanish beer? where a girl seems to be floating down to the bottom of the sea, i don't get it. nor the bull in a china shop,

[bluemoon1]

@chinachan, exactly, that is the idea, love 'em or loathe 'em if you're talking about them and mentioning the product the advert has done its job.

[bluemoon1]

Sorry @Chanajan

[emmie]

but many don't remember the product,

[bluemoon1]

Read back, most have even if they don't like what's being advertised

[emmie]

none work for me, i don't buy goods because some moronic ad told me too

[grumpy01]

All these adverts trying to persuade us to give money to Cancer Research.Goodness knows they’ve been at it long enough and still far too many people dying.Far better to give money to organisations who provide care for patients and families afflicted by this wicked disease.

[allenlondon]

The Remote Control.

Who watches adverts?

[EdmundD]

Ads that tell me "IT'S TIME TO SWITCH IT UP !!"

[emmie]

the only i have ever liked is the Hovis one, where the young boy goes through the ages, its clever and very emotional

[MWG14]

The Dove adverts and the Meercat adverts.

Second the Cinch advert, with Rylan Clark Neal. Why does he drop his 'T's? For effect? I

"Now you need a bigger Mo'Er. You need Cinch. Cinch lets you buy a 'Quali'Ee' used car online ..."

It's 'moTor', Rylan. Not Mo'Er. It's 'qualiTy, not 'quali'Ee.

The glottal stop is just fake and horrible.

And then he has the audacity to put a 'T' back into a sentence when he says, "Free home delivery and a 'fourTeen' day money back quarantee." If he was being true to his complete fakeness, it should be 'four'een'. Shouldnnn i' Rylan?

Just. Stop. It.
